Details:
if run
screen -p3 -X some-command
and there is no window #3, then some-command works and affects other window
it looks unexpected
in screen 4.03 it fails with "window required" message
it seems to me that 4.03 behavior is logically correct
----
this occurs because of this assignment
grep 'fore = windows.*sigh' socket.c -n -B1
1655- if (!fore)
1656: fore = windows; /* sigh */
git annotate socket.c | grep 'fore = windows.*sigh' -B1

if (!fore)

fore = windows; /* sigh */
git log 39563832 -n 1

Use the last created window as foreground window
Some commands don't work correctly if screen is started in daemon mode
and not attached/detached at least once. This happens because without
any attaches, no window is considered as the foreground window when
remotely executing a command without a display. In such a case, treat
the last created window as the foreground window, as suggested in
#10074.
may be
if (!fore && !*mp->m.command.preselect)
?
